Environmental Protection Statement
This product has been manufactured to satisfy environmental protection requirements wherever possible. Many of the
components used (structural parts, printed circuit boards, connectors, batteries, etc.) are capable of being recycled.
Final disposal of this product after its service life must be accomplished in accordance with applicable country, state,
or local laws or regulations. All components within this product fulfill the requirements of the RoHS (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances Directive). The product is soldered with a lead free process.
1.8
RoHS Commitment
Kontron Compact Computers AG (Switzerland) is committed to develop and produce environmentally friendly products
according to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive (2002/95/EC) and the Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive (2002/96/EC) established by the European Union. The RoHS directive was
adopted in February 2003 by the European Union and came into effect on July 1, 2006. It is not a law but a directive,
which restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacturing of various types of electronic and electrical
equipment. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) 2002/96/EC,
which has set targets for collection, recycling and recovery of electrical goods and is part of a legislative initiative to
solve the problem of huge amounts of toxic e-waste.
Each European Union member state is adopting its own enforcement and implementation policies using the directive
as a guide. Therefore, there could be as many different versions of the law as there are states in the EU. Additionally,
non-EU countries like China, Japan, or states in the U.S. such as California may have their own regulations for green
products, which are similar, but not identical, to the RoHS directive.
RoHS is often referred to as the "lead-free" directive but it restricts the use of the following substances:
» Lead
» Mercury
» Cadmium
» Chromium VI
» PBB and PBDE
The maximum allowable concentration of any of the above mentioned substances is 0.1% (except for Cadmium, which
is limited to 0.01%) by weight of homogeneous material. This means that the limits do not apply to the weight of the
finished product, or even to a component but to any single substance that could (theoretically) be separated
mechanically.

1.8.1 RoHS Compatible Product Design
All standard products from Kontron Compact Computers (KCC) comply with RoHS legislation.
Since July 1, 2006, there has been a strict adherence to the use of RoHS compliant electronic and mechanical
components during the design-in phase of all KCC standard products.
1.8.2 RoHS Compliant Production Process
KCC selects external suppliers that are capable of producing RoHS compliant devices verified by:
» A confirmation from the supplier indicating that their production processes and resulting devices are RoHS
compliant.
» If there is any doubt of the RoHS compliancy, the concentration of the previously mentioned substances in a
produced device will be measured. These measurements are carried out by an accredited laboratory.
1.8.3 WEEE Application
The WEEE directive is closely related to the RoHS directive and applies to the following devices:
» Large and small household appliances
» IT equipment
» Telecommunications equipment (although infrastructure equipment is exempt in some countries)
» Consumer equipment
» Lighting equipment – including light bulbs
» Electronic and electrical tools
» Toys, leisure and sports equipment
» Automatic dispensers
It does not apply to fixed industrial plants and tools. The compliance is the responsibility of the company that brings
the product to market, as defined in the directive. Components and sub-assemblies are not subject to product
compliance. In other words, since Kontron Compact Computers AG does not deliver ready-made products to end users
the WEEE directive is not applicable for KCC. Users are nevertheless encouraged to properly recycle all electronic
products that have reached the end of their life cycle.

KCC works in cooperation with SYSGO and therefore recommends using the ELinOS Linux distribution.
http://www.elinos.com/
SYSGO has developed a board support package (BSP) for the Pentium M and the Pentium BX/TX chipset-based
products for ELinOS. If you are interested or if you have any questions about ELinOS, please contact SYSGO directly.
3.4.3 What is ELinOS?
ELinOS is a development environment based on Linux for the creation of embedded systems for intelligent devices.
With ELinOS the memory demand of Linux is reduced to less than 1MB ROM and 2MB RAM. In this manner Linux can,
for the first time, conform to the reduced hardware conditions of embedded systems. Even in this basic configuration,
Linux offers largely the same functionality which made it so popular in the server and desktop field. By virtue of access
to the constantly growing number of Linux components, the basic system can be expanded at any time.
The core of ELinOS is a Linux distribution custom-tailored to the embedded systems currently sold. Besides the wellknown Linux version for x86, ELinOS also supports PowerPC-, ARM-, MIPS-, and SH3-platforms which are very popular
in the embedded field.
The emphasis of the current version of ELinOS is on the new CoTools, CODEO and COGNITO. CODEO is Eclipse based and
provides additional plug-ins for project management and target communication, which substantially improves the
ease of development of applications with ELinOS. COGNITO is a further integrated tool for the analysis of system
performance. It permits the collection, recording and display of all system information and facilitates the fast
optimization of software for intelligent devices.
ELinOS has been updated to the new version of the GNU tool chain and contains the stable Linux Kernel starting with
version 2.4.25; it has integration of Java and the real-time extensions RTAI 3.0 for hard real-time requirements. The
package is complemented with Carrier Grade Extensions such as IPv6, IPSec, SNMP, etc., for the use of Linux in
applications in the telecommunications market.

SpeedStep
4.5
SpeedStep Performance Control
The Pentium-M improved the SpeedStep mechanism by adding a third power scheme in addition to the low-power and
the full-performance modes. This new mode is called adaptive mode, and allows the frequency and voltage to switch
according to the CPU activity. The CPU uses a low-power mode by default, but when its activity increases, it switches
itself very quickly into full-performance mode. This new power scheme is very pleasant to use, because it allows full
CPU speed only when needed. Of course, power consumption depends on the CPU activity, and the more the CPU is
used, the more it consumes power.

Access to these resources under DOS can be provided by INT 15h function, see Section 6.1.
Access under Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP can be provided by the "Int15dl"-WDM driver; under Windows-NT with the
"Int15dl"-NT driver.
At the moment this driver supports all Kontron Compact Computers' boards with PIIX4 and ICH4 chipsets (e.g.,
MSM855, MSEBX855, MSMP5SEV, MSMP3SEV, MSEP800, etc.).
You’ll find the driver under: x:\tools\int15dl\... on the Product CD or in the download area of the support center.

"Int15dl" is not a plug-and-play driver, it must be installed manually:
1.
Open "Control Panel".
2.
Double click on "Add/Remove Hardware".
3.
To continue click the "Next>" button.
4.
On the page "Choose a Hardware Task", check "Add/Troubleshoot a device" and click "Next>".
5.
After "New hardware detection", an automatic Windows procedure, choose "Add a new device" item and
click the "Next>" button.
6.
On the "Find New Hardware" page, choose "No, I want to select the hardware from a list" and click "Next>".
7.
Choose "Other devices" in the "Hardware Type" list and click the "Next>" button.
8.
On the page "Select a Device Driver" press the "Have Disk..." button and find the driver location
(Int15dl.inf-WDM). After opening the "inf" file, the installation program will show a Models list and
"DIGITAL-LOGIC INT15 functions emulator" string. Press the "Next>" button.
9.
Then press the "Finish" button. It is not necessary to restart the computer after installation.
10. After installation, please, be sure, that "DIGITAL-LOGIC INT15 functions emulator" has been installed
properly. Open "Control Panel", then double click on the "System" icon. Choose the "Hardware" tab and
click on the "Device Manager" button. Expand "System Devices" and double click on "DIGITAL-LOGIC INT15
functions emulator". Be sure that device is working properly.

5.2.4 Driver Installation Windows-NT
1.
Boot with administrative privileges.
2.
Copy NT-driver "Int15dl.sys" into WINNT/System32/drivers folder.
3.
Register the driver by double clicking on the "int15dl.reg" file.
4.
Reboot the computer.
5.2.5 Programming Int15dl Interface under Windows
Programming of the Int15dl interface is very similar to DOS programming and is based on the DeviceIO control
function, which operates with a pre-defined structure named "Registers".
Files:
Int15srv.h:
Int15dlioctl.h:
Test_Int15dl.cpp:
contains definitions for the Registers structure.
contains definitions for the IO control code constants.
sample subroutines providing access to hardware functions over the Int15dl driver
Functions (Test_Int15dl.cpp)
bool Int15(Registers *Regs): the main function, which sends user requests to the driver.
Returns true if the request finished successfully, otherwise it returns false.
Regs: address of the Registers structure containing specific request data (defined in Int15srv.h).
For example, the following code will initiate temperature measuring:
Registers Regs;
Regs.ah = 0xEC;
if(!Int15(&Regs)) //error in driver request
{
printf("Error reading temperature\n");
return;
}
//success - temperature value is in Regs.al
if(Regs.bl == 0)printf("\tTemperature = %d C\n",Regs.al);
//error - not valid value
else printf("\tError reading Temperature\n");
Note:
Input and output arguments of the Int15 function differ for the various chipsets and BIOSes. Read about the
Registers definition in the user manual.
For example:
To get temperature value on a board with the PIIX4 chipset, use "Regs.ah = 0xEC;" on a board with
the ICH4 chipset, use "Regs.ax = 0x78EC;".
bool Open_Int15dl(void): the first function and must be called to create a link between the "DIGITAL-LOGIC INT15
functions emulator" driver and the user software.
Returns true if the device was successfully opened, otherwise it returns false.
void Close_Int15dl(void): the last function; it breaks the link between the driver and user software.
int GetChipID(void): an additional service function; returns the type of chipset (for PIIX4 = 4, for ICH4 = 5).
26
www.kontron.com
smartCore Express SMA200 BIOS / The Special Function Interface (SFI)
Registers Structure
This is used for exchanging information between the user program and the "Int15dl" driver.
typedef struct Registers {
union {
struct {
unsigned short ax;
unsigned short bx;
unsigned short cx;
unsigned short dx;
unsigned short bp;
unsigned short si;
unsigned short di;
unsigned short ds;
unsigned short es;
unsigned short flags;
};
struct {
unsigned char al;
unsigned char ah;
unsigned char bl;
unsigned char bh;
unsigned char cl;
unsigned char ch;
unsigned char dl;
unsigned char dh;
};
};
} TRegisters;
Information for Advanced Users
At the first call of the function Open_Int15dl(), the Int15dl driver tries to detect the type of chipset. To disable this
procedure the user must define the following parameters in the "Int15dl.inf" file before installation of the driver:
For PIIX4 chipset:
HKR, "Parameters", "chipID", 0x00010001, 0x4
HKR, "Parameters", "pmBase", 0x00010001, 0x1000
HKR, "Parameters", "smbBase", 0x00010001, 0x1040
HKR, "Parameters", "tsaddr", 0x00010001, 0x9E - LM75 sensor address
For ICH4 chipset:
HKR, "Parameters", "chipID", 0x00010001, 0x5
HKR, "Parameters", "pmBase", 0x00010001, 0x1000
HKR, "Parameters", "smbBase", 0x00010001, 0x1880
HKR, "Parameters", "tsaddr", 0x00010001, 0x9C - ADM1023 sensor address

Rename the SM200_xxx_FLASHABL.ROM file to bios.rom
IMPORTANT:
Do not use boot disks created in a Windows operating system. If you do not have an MSDOS 6.22 disk
available, you can download a boot disk from www.bootdisk.com.
Notes:
Disable the EMM386 or other memory managers in the CONFIG.SYS of your bootdisk.
Make sure that the PHLASH16.exe program and the BIOS to be downloaded are in the same path and
directory!
Boot DOS without config.sys and autoexec.batpress F5 while starting the DOS boot.
Is the empty disk space, where the PHLASH16.exe is located, larger than 64kB (for safe storage)?
Is the floppy disk not write-protected?
Start the DOWNLOADING process:
1.
Start the system with the bootable diskette. If you do not have a bootable diskette or floppy drive you can
start in DOS mode by pressing the F5 key to disable the autoexec.bat and config.sys.
2.
Run DELEP200.exe to clear the CMOS and the EEPROM.
Warning
36
If you do not run DELEP200.exe, the system will be destroyed during the BIOS upgrade!
3.
Run PHLASH16.EXE BIOS.ROM /BBL
4.
If the BIOS download is finished, you must power off the system.
5.
After powering the system back on, press F2 to enter the setup mode and set the default values with F9.
6.
"Save and leave" the setup with F10.
7.
Power off the system.
8.
The download procedure is finished.

CMOS RAM Map
Systems based on the industry-standard specification include a battery backed real-time clock (RTC) chip. This clock
contains at least 64 Bytes of non-volatile RAM. The system BIOS uses this area to store information including system
configuration and initialization parameters, system diagnostics, and the time and date. This information remains
intact even when the system is powered down.
The BIOS supports 128 Bytes of CMOS RAM. This information is accessible through I/O ports 70h and 71h. CMOS RAM
can be divided into several segments:
» Locations 00h-0Fh contain the RTC and status information
» Locations 10h-2Fh contain system configuration data
» Locations 30h-3Fh contain system BIOS-specific configuration data as well as chipset-specific information
» Locations 40h-7Fh contain chipset-specific information as well as power management configuration
parameters
The following table provides a summary of how these areas may be further divided.

Minor CPU Revision
Differentiates CPUs within a CPU type (i.e., 486SX vs 486 DX, vs 486 DX/2). This is crucial for correctly
determining CPU input clock frequency. During a power-on reset, Reg DL holds minor CPU revision.
Major CPU Revision
Differentiates between different CPUs (i.e., 386, 486, Pentium). This is crucial for correctly determining CPU input
clock frequency. During a power-on reset, Reg DH holds major CPU revision.
